About Us

Igniting Stories, Illuminating Truths

Blue Flame Publications was born from the spirit of entrepreneurship and resilience, inspired by my grandmother’s soul food restaurant—a place where community, culture, and storytelling thrived. Just as the blue flame burns the hottest, we are dedicated to amplifying Black stories with the same intensity, passion, and purpose.

At Blue Flame Publications, we believe that storytelling is a form of liberation. Our mission is to honor the richness of Black narratives, past and present, by publishing works that center our voices, histories, and imaginations. Whether through poetry, fiction, memoir, or cultural commentary, we are committed to sharing the truths that shape our experiences and fuel our futures.

The name pays homage to my grandmother’s restaurant—a place where warmth, nourishment, and ambition came together. Just as the blue part of the flame burns hottest, we believe in fueling stories that burn bright with truth, passion, and resilience.

We will begin accepting submissions in early 2026. Until then, support our first offering:
